SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The difference between exportation arising from trade-and exportation arising from absenteeism' is this —ln trade , that which goes out of the country, in produce of one description or other, returns in pro s duee.•oflike value,; for A, living it London, ships to his friend B, living in Bordeaux, English wool to the amount of 1001,, tbr which, in return, wine to an amount eqUal to tlw spool exported is received. Thus, in trade,, the affair is balanced-s-commodity being Paid by, tommodity. In absenteeisir4 . however, the thing is different. A . man owns an estate in Ireland, which, we will say, yields him 100/. a year. :The tenant must remit. to the absentee .for rent as much of ,the produce of the land as amounts to 1001.—that , is, be parts with so much value of produee, but `for which he does not receive one farthing back in value. A Nationel Debt operates against a country orstbe same principle. Suppose absentees residing in France to the amount of:10,000,000/. , a year, whose incomes- are folely derived from :British Funds ; that , income is re mitted to them in British commodities of one descrips skin or other, but - nothing is received back to the country. Sir Robert „Peel will find that he was wrong when he stated that a national debt mattered not to a country, for that what came out of one pocket went into the other, It is ,no such thing; for in all cases, where people whose incomes are derived from the funds reside abroad, that which they • 'receive they spend abroad, and nothing is returned to ' the country. In fact, it has the same operation against as country as if the money were paid in the shape of tribute the Dey of Algiers, or to his subjects. Absenteeism has the same operation so far es rents are concerned. All paid to an absentee is the same as tribute paid to a foreign Potentate. Sir Robert Peel would be right, provided that those whose incomes are derived from the debt stayed at home and spent their incomes in the country. But even then it would amount to this—that twenty utillintis of people would be labouring to keep three hundred thousand in a state of comparative idleness. But to put. the case a little stronger with regard to the possible operation of the greater part of the debt against this country. Not long since we gave a state ment or the , number of people entitled to receive the interest. The whole number, to the best of our re collection, amounted . to three hundred thousand. But out of three hundred thousand entitled to receive divi dends, there- were, as far as we remember, 299,000 or theroahoutl3, whose incomes amounted to the sum of 4001. and, downwards. 'Wow, taking the maximum, it i s well . known that 400/. a year will go a very little way in this country in maintaining an annuitant of 4001. a year and his family decently. But in France 400/. will citable a man to liVe Well. Now if, putting the pos sible case, the Whole Of the 299,000 live in France, and spend their income hi France, amounting, we will say for round numbers' sake, to 20;000,0001 a year, here is 811 operation aga i nst the country to the same enct as if' England were tributary to France to the amount of 2f1,000,000/.. a year ; for, as we before said, the people Who remain at home have to produce iforn the land, in ,voile shape or other, the Sum necessary to pay to the Ministers in the shape of taxation, in order that it may be .remitted to she Bank of England, to be by that Company paid to the agents of the absentees, in divi dends., . and which 20,000,000/. is remitted by the agents to the said' absentees, and not' one farthing is returned to ,!'he country. Now, according to Sir Robert Peel, whet lived in the days` of war, when people of this description were obliged to retniun tie 1 4 ,11 4 , 1;un1, it made aril ilifterenee. This Levof y 20,000,tuiot. Was raised by ,;tlXiAtion. , in F,riglartnl, was paid to the people in England, ;Ind they spem it in' England; therefore, as Sir Robert :laid, it made no difference. But it is 110 t so 110 W. nt affair ii changed. A great number of those entitled • to tlu 30,000,000/. out of the 50,000,000/. a year tinted* live out of the country, and they spend their annuities out of the country, instead of spending them; ire the country. lit filet, it strikes us ;to operating against the country in a way that may be illustrated by A field in which sheep are folded. SO long as the sheep e at the ,grass and l'etnrii it in manure, the field is not i n ycrverishcti. But if th fanner who folded the Sheep were t o sake tip the manure and toss it over the hedge into tho hi - Ot road, we would ask the flintier how the field would look in She course of a year or two? Absentee ism operates agacost a country on the same principle as we believe the deb! is operating against Ungland, The extra-medium created in eonsequence of the taxa tion for the debt caused; every thing in England to.' be higher in price than on the Continent, consequently it drivels people of small incomes rom the country... - If the debt could be,. got . rid of it would be a a00(1 thing; but that cannot be done, except a tax on theme derived. :front real property were levied, and a, real' Sinking Fund were established, to expunge from the Bank hooks so much every year, At present' there is no Sinking Fund—or a surplus of income beyond expenditure. Our opinion of a clehtis, that it is as' injurious, and as weak , ening to 4 nation as it is to an individual.

A few years back a gang of robbers infested the neighbourhood of Astley and Bradford. They were a complete terror to the ueighbourhood, but for a lung time they carried on their mid night plunder without being eaught. They bad regular agents iu Meucheeter, Preston, &v., some of them cienthitted a violent robbery at u reepectahle farmer's near Lincoln, where they got a good booty, and returned to Autley, loaded with the fruits of their dialemesty. HoWever, a chic was obtained, and me of them Was hung at Lincoln: another, named " Thorp," , turned King's evi dence and got big acquittal.' But the chief ector in the robbery was a man well known as a race-runner, named Isaac Usaiworth, who got clear - off, and has yet eviuled the hand of justice.—The rest of , the gang were not intimidated by the fate of their com panion., but pursued ' their . unlawful avocations with renewed vigour. Robberies took place in all parts of the county in which either all or part Mr() .- concerned ; they committed three very audacious robberies in the neighbourhood, and by the knowledge and instruction of the yin:lies who were ,acquainted with their circumstances, therseldem went away without a good booty. The Parsonage-house at Chowbernt, two farit-houses belonging to James Smith and AbramPollitt, near Tildesley, were visited and robbed of nearly everything of any value. After these rob beries the strict eye of justice was on the look out : several of the depredetors were taken into custody,- and all escaped the gallows with the eeeeption of one man, - call Big Joe, who was executer! at Lancaster a fast years back, the remainder being transported beyond the seas for different periods:of time. Only. two were left, and although another awful example had been set before them yet they have not been as merciful AS their companions (as yet nothing has been adduced against. them for murder) for taking away human life. However, the two last, it seems, received no check,—robbery after robbery slid they commit. At length one was apprehended, named Thorp, and transported. at Salford fur f e l o ny. Since . his conviction be writes to his friends in Astley, saying that he and the other villain, named Hilton, were returning about twelve months ago,from a public house at Redford, where they had beets: stealing a pig,:which they bed in their pumic', When. they met a poor man named Benjamin Partiugton, on a bridge in Bedford, over . the ,I)uke'r Canal, and being afraid - lest lie .would inform of them, they strangled him and then threw him into the canal where he was Mund. Accident was considered at that time to be the cause before the Jury at the inquest. Hilton has made his escape out of Astley, and no clue has yet been ob e tzined of hint. Thorp declares that it has lain so heavy on hie m;dri since he committed the murder, that lie has had liQcomfuyt lam-41004 Express. THE COLOSSV3 47,` ltifoDES.—Colonel Rottiers, of Antwerp, on his late visit to Rhodes, composed au essay on the place on which the ceJelgated Colossus formerly stood. It has been hitherto supposed that the Colossus stood upon two rocks which were at the entrance of the port. The Colonel demonstrates that this opinion is erroneous. He proves this in a very simple manner. The statue, according to the most authentic accounts, was sixty-two cubits in height : now a man six feet high generally stepping out three feet, how far would a man of sixty-two cubits step ? rhe answer to this question puts an end to all further dispute ; .f'or the distance between the legs of this statue would be thirty-two cubits, which does not at all agree with th e di stance b etween the two roan of the port' 'nitre is at Rhodes a second port adjoining the first ; areordio,7 to the Colonel, it was at the entrance of this tl iat ' 1 tae Colossus. stood ; and his observation views of thg remai g s c e o e v ili: to he th e less liable to objection, as he has dis ' there fragments of pedestals.

In the course of Satuiday, the Lord Mayor received various sums of money, and yesterday additional contributions were sent, in the whole, amounting to 501., which of course will do little fur up wards of 200 starving people. The sums have been forwarded to Mr. Freslifteld, of the Stock Exchange, and the DAMN will be duly ad vertiaed. An _application was made from Winchester for. one of the re fugees, who could be recommended as qualified for the situation of teacher of languages. The Spanish language, front the increasing connexions with South America, is beginning to he much taught. in commercial academies, and since French has become so common, the Italian language is more cultivated in seminaries as a fashion able accomplishment. A waterman appeared to answer a charge of having taken more than his fare, and used abusive language. A gentleman went with the defendant from Ilotherhithe to Tower Stairs, and offered him u shilling, which be refused, 11---1 him for a mere humbug, and refusing to let him go lbr less than eighteen-pence. The gentleman paid the money, but insisted on taking the defendant's number, And gut into the: bunt fur the pur pose. Finding he could not get at the number, he went as far as Billingsgate to procure a lantern, and the defendant accompanied him and " jawed bitn" all the way. When they returned to the Stairs, the defendant jumped into the boat, rowed it off, anti left him on the Stair* with the lantern in his hand, telling him to get the name how he could. Having, however, recognized the per son of the defendant, he persevervd on - the following day, and found him' out. The LORA Mavott fined the defendant 205., and on his declaring his inability to pay it, committed him to prison. GUILDHALL.--One Mr. John Moore, a stately well-dressed elderly, was charged by the watch of St. Bartholomew the Great, with having drank more than enough. They found him stretched out at full length at one o'clock in the morning, in Long-lane ; but how long he had lain there they could not say—tho Ugh it was very evident that let him have lain where he would, he must have lain two yards long at the very least. Mr. Moore—The watchmen perhaps did their duty in convey ing rue to the watch-house, but lied they taken me home, as a gentleman, I would have rewarded them handsomely." " How could we take you home as a gentleman, when you was as drunk as a beast?" demanded the watchman ; to which very unpleasant query Mr. Moore made no reply, and the Alderman tined him five shillings for having been drunk. • BOW-STREET.—A noted old thief; Tit Shields, was yester day brought before Sir Ruiskitn Bums, charged by Richard Paul Jodrell, Esq., Portland-place, a very infirth gentleman, with an attempt to steal his watch, and also on suspicion of having pick ed his pocket of a purse containing I h sovereigns. M r . J o drell having corroborated this statement, A person carne forward to say that he saw the prisoner very active in the crowd around the theatre, together with several per sons who were pointed out to him as noted thieves. There was a big man, named Smith, the elephant, who was also particularly active. The person said that he had .to complain of the conduct of Ledbeater, the officer, who seemed to be on a familiar footing with, the thieves, and actually shook one of them by the hand. Mr. HALLS said, that Lei!beater had informed fiim, he merely tapped a thief on the shoulder, whom he }mew in the crowd, warning him that he was watched. Sir Menial) Murat regretted that the evidence against the prisoner was not sufficiently strong to commit hint for the capital offence. The parties were then about to be bound over to prosecute, when Sir RicamtnNzx said, on second thought he had a very good reason fer remanding the prisoner, end Friday next was accordingly appointed for that purpose. MARLTIOROUGH-STREET.—Yesterday, an elderly decent looking man was Oozed at the bar, before Mr. CONANT, the sitting Magistrate, upon the following singular charge. Withers, men., the father of the youth who some weeks ago preferred a charge against Colonel Archdnll, at this office, stated,' ,that the man at the bar came as a perfect stranger one night last week to sleep at the public-house where' he . (Withers) lodges, in Holborn, and the next day the prisoner thought proper to charge him with having robbed him during the night of a sum of money, . _ because they happened to sleep in the same rOOlll, and the prisoner has ever since come regularly every day to the house, causing a disturbance ito4 lowilymbuging him (Withers) with the robbery; and when asked to give his name and address, he refused to tell either. ?dr. Co NA NT told tlov man at the bar, that he ilid tint Kee any grounds for accusing Withers of this rolAory, particularly zni a third perian hail shin sAnin in the room.

UM( )ISI- i'l A I.L. —Yesterday a tiMoW named john smith, one of a gang of desperate thieves that bare long infrsted the district of this office, was brought before the sitting Magistrate, charged with 'giving committed 84") outrageous tut assault upon the person OptsTr! Davidson, of Nelson-square, as to endanger that gentle man's life. • The Captain was unable to attend the examination in conse quence of the injuries he received, and his eon produced a medical certiticate, describing the dangerous state iu which his father Was then lying, owing to a severe Wow on the breast, which, it ap peared, produced rupture of the lungs. - • _ _ Bhepitertl, the Witeinan, having btated that he should know the man who accoMPanied the prisoner when lie knocked down Captain Davidven, the Alagistrate remanded hint , for another examination. HORRID DEPRAVITY. On Monday evening. an inquisition was held .at.the Two Brewers, at Stratton-ground, Westminster, before Thos. Higgs, Esq. nn the body.of James Woodward, aged 54. years. Mary Grant stated, that she lodged in the smile house With the deceased. 1.44 Saturday she was in the yard with the . de ceased,. When' ha exclaiMed, " Oh ! Mrs. Grant, I 'shall die."— She assisted to get him up stairs, and gist him some medicine Soon after his wife came • into the room, when the deceased ex claimed to Isis wife, " Yost lying, good for-nothing woman, yon have broke my heart," and instantly expired. - His wife rum maged his pocsets, where she found 4s. and immediately went out and got drunk.; she , came horns in the evening, when she drew the covering from the corpse, and slept alongside of the de ceased during the night. Since the death of her huaband she has removed every thing portable,, and witness has no doubt but that she would sell the body, : if• some stop were not put to it ; . she had pawned two of his coats yeaterd.sy, and got drnnk With the money. The Jury 'appeared astonished at the depravity of the woman, and desired the beadle to take care of the holy till it was interred, as there appeared no doubt that, if the body was not removed im mediately, it would be sold to procure gin. Verdict...-Died ley the Visitation of God. • • TIER WORKING COTTON SPINNERS.—A very considerable reduction of wages, in some instances equal to two-thirds, having, of late, been made by some of the master spinners, a general " turn-out " was the consequence, and the masters taking in.new hands at the reduced prices, the old ones, supported by the contributions of those who are in full employ, and re ceiving the old rate of wages,' have since been using every exertion to induce the new hands to leave their employment, and by joining with them in withhold ing their labour from the market, to raise its price to the desired level. So however, has been the general conduct oftb n ai u :dents, that they have, lath er ded, tot with very few exceptions, kept out of the reach attic !ei g law's lash. This week, it appears, some slight dis turbance has taken place amongst the new and the old hands at the factory of Mr. James Kennedy. Some of the new hands complained of receivinif, obstruction from the old ones in their attempt to go into the mill, and, in consequence, the Police-officers went up occa sionally during the week, but found »a occasion to in terfere ; so far f rom i t, as r espects the )hl hands, that earth, and finding, tuarefore, that they were in want of the n ew 11(1 " (18 actually assaulted them with cloth of protection from the assaults of those they came l i t er t t ex pressly to protect, th ey o f course found it unnecessary to pay them any ~m r : a i r:h o visits,fthe: exceptceraticcellarly I o as tile t were heir h no signs of any own persons.—Manchester Gazette, ARBROATIL—LOA Saturday se'nnight, Margaret Wishart was lodged in jail, accused of havi»g aihni nistered poison to her sister, while in child-bed, from the effects of which both mother and child died. On Sunday, the bodies of the unfortunate sufferers were disinterred, and examined by Doctors Arent and Palmer, who have not as yet given in their burgh 'terms Courant, MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Ocr. 25. John Belt, James Riley, Win. Homerstone, and Wns: Stoker, were indicted for assaulting George Andrews. It appeared that the prosecutor was sent to an auction by his master to purchase some bricks; but having purchased a wrong lot, his master, as soon as he learntsl what he bad done, bestowed a hearty kick upon a certain part of his person for his pains, and went him back to the sale-room to endeavour to rectify his mistake. As soon, how ever, as addressing the auctioneer, he made known his luckless blunder, a general laugh pervaded the room, and a number of persons, amongst whom were the defendants, described as belong ing to a society called " the knock-outs," got around him, and so completely begrimed his face with soot, that no part of his coun tenance was recognizable to his nearest friends, save just so much of his nose as bad been held while the ceremony of japanning was upon him. - - Mr. 'Pltrates baying called witnesses who proved these facts, Mr. ALLEY, for the ,definulants, produced others, who swore that his clients were not the parties who had perpetrated the outrage. The Jury found them all yuilty, and The CHAIRMAN sentenced them to pay a fine of 5/. each, with liberty to speak to the prosecutor t in other words, to pay between them either 201. to the King, or 101. to the prosecutor. William Palle was convicted of wantonly assaulting John Dickworth, and another, for which he was sentenced to pay a fine of 24/. in each case. ESSEX QUARTER SESSIONS. (From the Wisex Herald of Tuesday.) The occurrences at Fairlop Feir, in regard to which applica tion was made for payment of extra constables, is fully borne out by the necessity of the case. With the provision of such a police as was engaged at the last fair, we see no objection to such an an nual scene of hilarity, so long as its continuance can be kept with in its present bounds. Every attempt to suppress such an assem blage, experience proves,' only tends to increase it. The Quixotic expedition, as it turned out, which was planned by that active and somewhat tyrannical Magistrate of his days, }limber Gascoyne, Req. affords the best evidence of such a fact, particu larly when his object had the presence and nerve of such a man as Sir Henry Dudley, who rather courted danger than shunned it,; it may, however, be said to have been fortunate for those pre sent that they were not all possessed of that most active Magis trate's courage. It proved that Mr. Gascoyne was not so great a hero in the field as he was in the cabinet ; he could plan, but it was for others to execute. At the first shout, which resembled the roaring of a park of artillery, as described by Sir. J. Tyrell, who also was present, Mr. Gascoyne halted—at the second shout he turned rountland on the third volley, he took to hie heels and distanced all his companions, who, disgusted no doubt with such a leader, went in pursuit of some other object, leaving the fair folks in the full enjoyment of their recreations. The fair an creased rapidly after this futile attempt to suppress it, and as the population of the Metropolis and its environs increases, in the same proportion, it would appear, the advocates and promoters of 1 1 / 4 44 fair are multiplied. Hxuav ALLsx, jun. Appellant, v. the CnoncnwAnn . xxis and OVIASIERS of RAYNE, Respondents, against an Order of Bastardy. This appeal came on for hearing at ten o'clock on Thursday morning, and the trial lasted nearly four hours. The case excited considerable interest, inasmuch as it was, we be lieve, the first at tempt that has ever been made in this county to quash an order of bastardy.under similar circumstances. The g rounds which have been generally brought forward, on behalf of the appellants, to quash orders of this description, having been, that the reputed father and mother could not have had access to each other within the time sworn to, or that the person charged with being the fa ther was incapable, by reason of some infirmity of body, of pro creation.—Not so, however, in this case, as the appellant had every opportunity of seeing the mother, if he had been so inclined, and is a hale and healthy young man ; but there was such an ex traordinary weight of evidence brought forward on the part of the appellant, proving beyond all manner of doubt that the character of the mother of the child affiliated (Charlotte Hitchcock) was of ' the most infaMous and abandoned description, and that she not only swore falsely over and over again, in giving her evidence on the trial of this appeal, but it was also proved that at the Mi &mimes Sessions. held here three years ago, she and her father were both guilty of a most foul and wicked conspiracy, in falsely charging a respectable aged person, of the name of Vale, one of the overseers of Rayne, with having assaulted her, with an in tent to commit a rape, and that this charge was brought forward by them in i evenge, because Mr. Vale had indicted the father at the saute Sessions, for assaulting him in a most gross manner, and on which indictment he was convicted and sentenced to be imprisoned for six months. It is but justice to Mr. Vale to add, that on the trial of the above-alleged assault by hint on this girl Hitchcock, F the Court was so convinced of the moral impossibility of their hoeing been the slightest foundation fur the charge, that the I Chairman, without hesitation, directed the Jury to acquit him, without calling upon him to produce a single witness to rebut the evidence given en that occasion by the prosecutrix. Under these • eircumetancii, therefore, and taking into consideration the nume rous perjuries this wicked girl had been guilty of, and particularly uoticiug the'gross manner in whirls she repeatedly forswore her . self On this trial, the Court, after well weighing the arguments of the Learned Counsel on both aides, were unanimously of opinion ' that she was not worthy of belief on her oath, and consequently quashed the order. —Essex Hirald.

THE MARKETS. (From the London Neu , Price Current of Tuesday.) SUGAR.-The Sugar Market continued very heavy last week, and where sales were effected lower prices were submitted to, particularly in the inferior and middling de scriptions, of which the greatest part of the present stoek consists. Sugars 60s. anti upwards are so scarce, that they fully command the late prices. The deliveries of Sugars last week are about 3,300 casks, nearly the same as last year, which evidently shows that the aonsumption continues extensive, and that large parcels of Muscovades have been disposed of privately, the particulars as to price not transpiring. The stock has increased last week nearly 3,000, compared with the same period in 1825. The Market opened heavily this morning, and from the late purchases of low and 'middling Sugars we have reduced • our quotations Is. per cwt. The sales by private contract at the close of the day were estimated at 400 casks. The Barbadoes public sale went off heavily ; the best quality 695. 6d. We make all Sugars below 58s. about Is. per cwt. lower than on this day week. The Refined Marker was exceedingly heavy last week, and only parcels for shipping were inquired after. The prices of Lumps wer e rather loWer. The wholesale grocers did not purchase ally parcels for the home consumption. The demand rather improved to-day, both for home consumption and export, on account of the holders generally taking a reduced Ore. Brown Lumps and Molasses sold at the lowest price in serted. The grocers are also taking tine goods at a similar reduction. In. Foreign Sugars last week no busine..ss was done by private contract. Some Brazil Sugars offered at public sale, but we believe there were no bidding& 36 7 lilids. and brls. Porto Rico good Muscovutles, yellow to , brown, sold 275. 6d, a 30s. CoeFEE.-The public sales of Coffee last wee k attracted little attention, they went off heavily, the Foreign ut further reduction of Is. per cwt.; die ordinary descrip tions of British Plantation at a decline of 2 s. a 3s. p er ewt.; good ordinary rank Jamaica 48s. a 50s. ; good ordinary clean 51es and 525.; fine ordinary - .58s. The colo ur y de scriptions sold also lower, but still high in proport ion to the inferior qualities. The transactions by private co ntract at the reduced prices were extensive, and it appears there are extensive buyers of Coffee, but only at lo w p riee ' '. The report on Saturday that St. Domingo Coffee was sold at 47e. brought the buyers to make inquiries, but no general business could be done at that price.-There was only one public sale this forenoon, 50 casks Jamaica god 412 bags St. Domingo, the latter of an ordinary quality; all taken in at 48s, and 48s. 6d,; 'the damaged sold 4 414 . 455. 6d.; good ordinary coloury Jamaica 525., niiildinig taken in at 80s. There was so little sold that it forms no criterion of the market prices. IRISH PROVIsIoNs.-The Provision market continuo heavy but no reduction in the prices of the present stock, here is anticipated, as we have a small supply of goo provisions, and the usual shipping orders are immediately expected. The prices for a future period are expected lower, and New India Beef is offered at 61. 106., and New Mess at 41. 108., for shipment next month, but the buyers do not come forward.-putters maintain the late prices. Bacon heavy. Ruu, BRANDY, and HOLLANDS.-The inquiries after . Rum continued general and extensive last week, and to wards its close some buyers, who had been long watching the market to purchase at lower prices, came forward sad took all parcels proof and under, without regard to quality, at 2s. 4d.; they were unable to make large purchases at that rate-for proofs it was refused. The other sales were Jamaica, 31 over fine, 45,; 34 over of a very ordinary quality Si. Bd. Demerara 28 over 3s. 2d.- - Br andies are held with much firmness, but the purchases lately are con. fined to small parcels to the - trade and for shiPPingr a Geneva still at nominal quotations.-At a late hour to-day y ai w t e e r n e t t ivoriet s.tihesere no purchases whatever were reported. only y v Petersburgh yesterday was 101, which is a consul' o i s !r .
